As used herein, the terms LafargeHolcim, Holcim or the Group refer to LafargeHolcimLtd
together with the companies included in the scope of consolidation. Holcim Ltd was
renamed to LafargeHolcimLtd following the merger with Lafarge S.A. on July10, 2015.
For the purpose of the proposed merger, the 2014 pro forma information that was included
in the Registration Document registered on May11, 2015 reflected only the effect of the
merger Lafarge/Holcim and its direct consequences (notably the divestments to CRH) as
known at that time. Now with the merger completed, the pro forma financial information
included on pages 3 to 15, in addition to the merger and the latest changes in the scope
ofthe divestments achieved in the context of the merger Lafarge/Holcim, also reflects the
impact of merger, restructuring and other one-offs, the deconsolidation of the A
ustralian
business operated under a joint-venture and the effect of the divestments achieved over
the course of 2014 and 2015.
These figures do not take into consideration any purchase price accounting impact on
operating EBITDA which mainly relates to inventory valuation.
Shareholders Letter
Dear Shareholder,
In the first quarter, which is typically our smallest quarter, we saw solid demand for our
products and a strengthening pricing environment with sequential quarter-on-quarter
improvement of cement average selling prices.
We know that we have more to do to increase momentum in 2016 and we are fully
committed to delivering synergies, strengthening pricing, and maximizing cash flow
generation. We are also well advanced with our divestment program and the proceeds
will reduce our net debt this year.
The first quarter is not indicative of our full year performance. We are on track with our
plan and we see favorable underlying trends. We are confident that 2016 will mark
soundprogress towards reaching our 2018 objectives and we expect to deliver at least
ahigh single digit like-for-like increase in adjusted operating EBITDA for the year.
In the quarter, increases in like-for-like net sales compared with the prior year were
reported in major markets including the United States, Mexico, Algeria, and the Philippines
in what is traditionally the lowest-volume quarter of the year. Cement average selling
prices increased from the fourth quarter 2015 to the first quarter 2016 by 2.1percent,
excluding India, although they remain lower than last year due to price declines in 2015.
Price increases were implemented in two thirds of our markets during the first quarter,
including in Nigeria and India. This will deliver the full effect in the remainder of the year.
The first quarter results were impacted by challenging conditions in a limited number of
markets. Nigeria, Brazil, and India accounted for the majority (CHF 160million) of the
adjusted operating EBITDA declines in the first quarter 2016 versus the previous years
first quarter. However, this was mitigated by timely implementation of synergy action
plans and lower energy costs. China and Indonesia also stabilized as a result of cost management actions implemented in the quarter.
The year-on-year comparison was also impacted by lower prices in Nigeria, India
and China (CHF 170 million compared to the first quarter 2015), lower CO 2 sales
(CHF17million in the first quarter 2015 vsnone in the first quarter 2016), adverse foreign
exchange effects (CHF43million higher in the first quarter 2016 than in the first quarter
2015) and CHF85million of positive items in the previous years first quarter mainly due
to a sales tax credit of CHF20million in India and CHF20million in US pension credits,
with the b
alance dispersed across the regions and countries.
Synergies reached CHF104million in the quarter ensuring that we are on track to exceed
the target of CHF450million of incremental synergies for the full year with the biggest
contributors being: cross-selling of branded products; the optimization of clinker sourcing
between Group companies; and implementation of best practice in our energy mix. Energy
costs were down by over CHF65million (9.0percent) in the quarter as a result of reduced
prices for fossil fuels and procurement initiatives.

Pro forma sales volumes

Consolidated like-for-like cement volumes increased 1.4percent to 56.6million tonnes in
the first quarter 2016, notably driven by growing demand in India, the United States,
andthe Philippines and the start-up of the new plant in Tuban, Indonesia. Like-for-like
aggregates shipments improved 1.0percent to 51.6million tonnes mainly as a result
of higher volumes in Egypt and the United States, which more than offset declines in
the United Kingdom and Canada. Ready-mix concrete shipments grew 1.8percent to
12.6million cubic meters thanks to favorable sales development in India, Egypt, the
UnitedStates, Mexico, and France.
Pro forma financial results

Net sales were CHF6,062million and improved 0.1percent like-for-like in the first three
months of the year. Improved performance in countries such as the United States, Mexico,
Algeria, and the Philippines did not fully offset declines primarily in Nigeria and Brazil.
Adjusted operating EBITDA was down 17.0percent like-for-like to CHF824million, mainly
driven by Nigeria, Brazil, and India, while we saw encouraging trends in other markets.
Divestments
As part of the previously announced CHF3.5billion divestment program, the Group has
already secured more than one third of the total and the remainder of the program is
on track.
In April, the Group closed the divestment of Lafarge Halla Cement Corporation in South
Korea to a consortium of private equity funds Glenwood and Baring Asia for a total
consideration of CHF532million.
Shareholders Letter
LafargeHolcim also signed an agreement to divest the Groups 25percent participation

in Al Safwa Cement Company in Saudi Arabia to El-Khayyat Group for total proceeds of
CHF128million. This transaction is expected to close in the course of the third quarter
2016 and is subject to customary closing conditions. In April, LafargeHolcim also sold its
non-core financial investment of 23.33percent in Turkish building materials group Baticim
to Sanko Holding for approximately EUR28million.
Consecutive to the LafargeHolcim merger, the Group has signed in March an agreement
with SNI, its historical partner in Morocco, to enlarge its joint-venture by merging Lafarge
Ciments Maroc and Holcim Maroc to create LafargeHolcim Maroc. Upon completion of this
merger, LafargeHolcim and SNI will own a 64.7percent stake in the new leading company
in the Moroccan building materials market. Leveraging the complementarity of the two
networks, the new company will benefit from combined positions in concrete, aggregates
and a unique distribution platform to provide value-added products and solutions across
the country. The new company estimates a synergy potential of CHF45million on a run
rate basis, to be realized over two years. Beyond Morocco, building on the long-lasting
partnership in Morocco and their complementary businesses in Africa, LafargeHolcim
and SNI also agreed to create a common platform in French-speaking sub-Saharan Africa.
The transactions are expected to close in the third quarter of 2016 and are subject to
relevant regulatory authorities approval, customary closing conditions, and the approval
of the shareholders of Lafarge Ciments Maroc and Holcim Maroc to merge the two
companies. LafargeHolcim and SNI also intend to propose to the annual general meeting of the new combined entity in Morocco the payment of an exceptional dividend out
of the merger premium to optimize the balance sheet structure of the new group. Once
completed, the transactions will result in a net debt reduction of CHF0.6billion at
LafargeHolcim level, before impact of the exceptional dividend.
2016 Outlook
2016 will be a year of progress towards our 2018 targets. Demand in our markets is
expected to grow between 2percent to 4percent, taking into account the challenging
economic headwinds in selected emerging markets that will continue.
This year our strategic plan will gain further momentum and in 2016 we expect:
CAPEX to remain below CHF2.0billion
Incremental synergies of more than CHF450million of operating EBITDA
Our pricing recovery actions and commercial excellence initiatives will demonstrate
tangible results
Net debt expected to decrease to around CHF13.0billion at year end, including the
effect of our planned divestment program
CHF3.5billion divestment program to be completed with more than one third already
secured
We are committed to maintaining a solid investment grade rating and commensurate
tothis rating, returning excess cash to shareholders, notably with a progressive dividend policy.
We reconfirm our commitment to the 2018 targets announced in November2015.
LAFARGEHOLCIM
First Quarter 2016
Asia Pacific
In Asia Pacific, LafargeHolcim benefited from positive performances in Indonesia, the
Philippines, and good volume progress in India driving increased cement sales. Financial
performance was impacted by lower prices in India, some mix-effect in Australia, and
production issues in Malaysia. In China and Indonesia, decisive actions to reduce costs
offset the impact of lower prices and results stabilized compared to last year. In India,
synergies and on-going cost reduction actions have mitigated the adverse price effect.
In addition, the first quarter results 2015 benefited from a positive non-recurring impact
of CHF20million.
Economic growth across Asia Pacific was robust in the first quarter of the year as private
consumption, infrastructure investments, low energy prices, and higher real incomes
drove development in India and as countries such as Indonesia and the Philippines
continued to grow. Chinas economy stabilized in the first quarter of 2016 with more
positive growth in March.

Demand for building materials in India was solid in the first quarter of the year. As a result,
ACC and Ambuja sold more cement in all regions. Although prices were sharply down in
the quarter, they partially recovered in March with particularly positive trends in the north
of the country and positive margin development as well. In addition, ready-mix concrete
deliveries were up significantly. The Group is rapidly shifting to the more intensive use
of petcoke which led to lower costs in the quarter. Extensive work on logistics and fixed
costs contributed to cost reductions.
Volumes increased significantly in Sri Lanka thanks to ongoing high demand for building
materials. Bangladesh also reported markedly higher cement volumes.
Shareholders Letter
China reported higher cement and aggregates volumes with increased sales volume in
Yunnan province driving the quarter as the Group has increased its commercial efforts.
Competitive pressures remained high in most regions and prices were lower than last
year.
The positive development of construction activity continued in Vietnam in the first
threemonths of the year and cement deliveries were higher than in the previous year.
Ready-mix concrete deliveries however declined.
In Malaysia, cement volumes decreased as a result of production issues in a competitive
environment. Aggregates volumes and ready-mix concrete deliveries were also lower
than in the previous years period as activity linked to large-scale infrastructure projects
was lower.
Construction activity in the Philippines was buoyant in the first quarter thanks to the
ongoing high level of investment in public infrastructure and private residential projects.
As a result, cement volumes increased significantly and prices also developed favorably.
In Indonesia, volumes increased across all three segments in the first three months of
2016 with cement reporting the strongest increase. Cement volumes were driven by
higher demand in Sumatra and clinker exports as the new Tuban plant is ramping up.
LafargeHolcim benefited from lower energy costs and a logistics optimization program
thanks to the Groups broader presence in the country. While the governments commitment to accelerate its economic program stabilized the market, competitive pressure
remained in Java.
Australia benefited from high residential construction activity in some states while the
low level of investments in the mining sector continued to impact demand for building
materials. Aggregates volumes increased in the period, driven by demand in New South
Wales, South-East Queensland, and Victoria, albeit with higher sales volumes of lower
grade materials. Ready-mix concrete deliveries were also up. In New Zealand, where the
shift to an import model for cement continued to progress well, LafargeHolcim sold less
cement but was able to increase aggregates volumes.
Consolidated cement volumes in Asia Pacific increased 6.6percent to 30.1million tonnes
as a result of higher deliveries in India, Indonesia, China, and the Philippines. Aggregates
volumes were up 9.2percent to 7.3million tonnes. Ready-mix concrete deliveries
reached3.9million cubic meters, an increase of 2.7percent mainly thanks to better
volumes in India. Net sales increased 0.9percent like-for-like to CHF2,148million as
better performance in the Philippines, Sri Lanka, and Indonesia offset lower net sales in
Malaysia, India, and China. Adjusted operating EBITDA was down 15.5percent like-for-like
to CHF344million mainly as a result of lower performance in India, Australia, and
Malaysia.
LAFARGEHOLCIM
First Quarter 2016
Europe
Results in Europe declined compared to 2015 pro forma figures, affected by reduced
activity in Russia and Azerbaijan, lower CO2 sales and positive items in the first quarter
2015 of CHF23million. These effects were mitigated by positive trends in Romania and
encouraging resilience in France and Switzerland, although the overall market situation
remained challenging. In response to the challenging conditions, LafargeHolcim has
initiated several cost-containment measures to adapt its operational presence.
The region saw the continuation of moderate economic recovery in the first quarter of 2016
as economic stimuli were felt in a number of markets. Growth in the United Kingdom
slowed and construction market development also lost some of the momentum, while
construction markets in France and Switzerland showed signs of improvement.

In the United Kingdom, aggregates volumes were lower in the period under review, but
ready-mix concrete shipments increased further, continuing the good performance of
the previous quarters and mainly driven by the strong London market. Cement volumes
increased markedly. Overall price development was positive.
Frances construction sector benefited from mild and relatively dry weather conditions
at the beginning of the year that supported the demand for building materials. As a result,
volumes in cement, aggregates, and ready-mix concrete increased. In February, the Group
initiated a project to maintain a network of high performing and competitive plants. As
part of this intention, the Martres-Tolosane cement plant would be modernized, while
the La Couronne and Le Havre cement plants would be converted into grinding stations.
Shareholders Letter
In Germany, LafargeHolcim reported lower cement volumes as a result of lower exports

in a market that was characterized by strong competition in the north and west of the
country. While aggregates deliveries increased, ready-mix concrete shipments were down.
The Group company in South Germany increased cement volumes.
The development of Switzerlands construction market stabilized in the first quarter of
2016, with positive stimuli from residential construction. The Group company reported
higher volumes in all three segments with the most pronounced increases in ready-mix
concrete.
Italy was impacted by the countrys challenging economic development and significant
volume declines in all three segments. Against a background of some political uncertainties in Spain that also affected construction activity, LafargeHolcim sold less cement and
aggregates, partly also as a result of the value-focused approach. Ready-mix concrete
volumes increased. Greece reported higher deliveries in all three segments, partly as a
result of export activities.
In Poland, volumes were stable despite the ongoing challenging market environment.
Romanias construction market was driven by strong investment activity, resulting in
increased cement volumes. Most other countries in Central and Eastern Europe reported
slightly higher cement volumes, particularly Austria and Croatia.
Russia continued to experience weak construction markets in the first quarter of 2016
following strong declines last year. As a result, LafargeHolcim sold significantly lower
cement volumes. As a response to the weak market demand, LafargeHolcim has
streamlined its operations in Russia including the closure of clinker production and
mothballing of grinding activities at the Voskresensk plant.
Construction activity in Azerbaijan was negatively impacted by low oil prices and a
decrease in public investment. Competitive pressure remained high. Subsequently,
cement volumes decreased markedly.
Consolidated cement volumes in Europe decreased 3.1percent to 7.7million tonnes.
ggregates shipments reached 25.2million tonnes, a decline of 1.8percent, mainly as a
A
result of the United Kingdoms lower performance. Ready-mix concrete volumes grew
slightly by 0.2percent to 4.0million cubic meters. Net sales decreased 3.5percent like-for-like
to CHF1,497million reflecting a challenging pricing environment in certain markets.
Adjusted operating EBITDA was down by 28.0percent like-for-like to CHF119million.

First Quarter 2016
Latin America
In Latin America, most countries reported good performance with a positive price develop
ment, as LafargeHolcim continued to expand its established retail offering in the region
and also focused on higher value projects. However, performance was impacted by
selected countries, namely the ongoing challenging market environment in Brazil and a
further slowdown in Ecuador.
Economic trends in the region were mixed: While Mexico, Central America, and Colombia
showed good economic and construction activity, demand for building materials in
Brazil remained in a challenging situation as a result of the ongoing economic recession
impacting public and private investment activity.

The Mexican construction industry continued along its upward trajectory that gained
momentum in the previous financial year. Large infrastructure projects led to higher
demand for building materials. LafargeHolcim continued its focus on higher-margin and
higher-value applications. Volumes and prices increased in both cement and ready-mix
concrete.
In Colombia, construction activity was buoyant and LafargeHolcims volumes were stable.
Ready-mix concrete deliveries were higher thanks to the Groups participation in the
Bogota airport expansion. Prices also developed favorably thanks to the focus on retail
customers and higher-margin projects.
Shareholders Letter
Development in Central America was mixed, as Nicaragua and Costa Rica increased
cement volumes, while El Salvador reported lower deliveries as a result of increased
insecurity in the country.
LafargeHolcim sold less cement in Ecuador in the first three months of 2016, as demand
for building materials was lower mainly due to reduced investment in infrastructure,
which resulted from liquidity constraints by the government. Heavy rains also negatively
impacted private construction. Volumes in ready-mix concrete decreased as well.
The very challenging situation in construction markets in Brazil continued during the first
three months of the year, driven by the recession, decreasing consumer confidence, and
political uncertainty. As a result, the government has cut its investments in construction
projects. The Group continued its self-help measures to partly mitigate this effect and
has restructured its ready-mix concrete operations. Volumes in all three segments were
lower than in the previous years period.
In Argentina, the change in government in 2015 resulted in the temporary delay of public
investment. As a result, volumes in cement and ready-mix concrete were lower than in
the previous years period. However, aggregates deliveries grew and overall prices rose,
mitigating some of the volume effects.
Consolidated cement volumes in Latin America declined 10.7percent to 6.0million tonnes
mainly driven by the declines in Brazil and Ecuador. Aggregates deliveries were up
0.6percent to 1.7million tonnes. Shipments in ready-mix concrete totaled 1.7million
cubic meters, a decline of 6.2percent. Net sales declined 1.7percent like-for-like to
CHF682million, again mainly due to Brazil and Ecuador. Adjusted operating EBITDA
decreased 9.2percent like-for-like to CHF210million, as positive pricing development
inseveral markets did not fully compensate for declines in Brazil and Ecuador.

First Quarter 2016
Middle East Africa

The Middle East Africa region was negatively impacted by lower prices in Nigeria,
adifficult situation in Zambia, and production and logistic-related limitations at some
of our plants.
Economic growth levels in Africa were mixed, as lower oil and commodity prices impacted
development in some countries. Algeria and Egypt showed solid construction activity but
other economies in the Middle East were affected by political instability and security risks.
Nigerias construction market was particularly buoyant.

In Egypt, the recovery of demand for building materials experienced in the last quarter
of 2015 continued in the first three months of the year. As a result, LafargeHolcim sold
more aggregates and ready-mix concrete thanks to the Groups involvement in major
infrastructure projects. Cement volumes declined slightly, driven by the Groups margin-
focused strategy.
Algerias construction industry benefited from positive market trends fueled by growing
housing demand and public investment. LafargeHolcim benefited from the high demand
for building materials, which significantly increased cement volumes.
In the first quarter 2016, the construction market in Morocco grew solidly thanks to
positive weather effects. Volumes were higher in all three segments with the strongest
increases reported in aggregates. Pricing also developed positively.
In Lebanon, LafargeHolcim reported significant volume increases in cement and readymix concrete. Jordan also sold more cement. In Iraq, cement volumes increased despite
contraction of construction markets and rainy weather. However, higher energy costs
and a challenging pricing environment negatively impacted the Group company.
Shareholders Letter
While demand for building materials in Nigeria grew significantly in the first quarter of
2016, the competitive environment remained challenging although prices partially
recovered at the end of the quarter. LafargeHolcim sold less cement, mainly as a result
of energy shortages and logistics-related issues earlier in the quarter. The Group con
tinued several actions, including ongoing strict cost management and the optimization
of plant productivity, to be in a position to benefit from the strong market conditions
going forward.
Following good performance in the previous quarter, cement volumes in Kenya were
stable, while Uganda reported contracting deliveries. In Zambia, LafargeHolcim focused
on expanding its offer to retail customers with a new distribution concept, but overall
cement volumes declined. The local company also focused on cost containment measures
to mitigate the challenging market development.
While market trends in South Africa were challenging in the first quarter, LafargeHolcim
increased its cement volumes, with particularly strong deliveries in March as production
limitations at the Groups integrated plant were solved.
Consolidated cement volumes in Middle East Africa increased 3.1percent to 10.8million
tonnes, thanks to higher sales in Algeria, Iraq, and Lebanon. Both other segments reported
strong volume increases: Aggregates shipments were up 45.8percent to 3.6million
tonneswhile ready-mix concrete deliveries increased by 10.1percent to 1.4million cubic
meters. Net sales decreased 4.4percent like-for-like to CHF1,049million as better
performance in the northern African and Middle East markets could not fully offset
negative developments in some sub-Sahara countries. Adjusted operating EBITDA for the
region was down25.6percent like-for-like to CHF256million as a result of pricing declines
in Nigeria and Zambia.

First Quarter 2016
North America
LafargeHolcim posted improved results in North America driven by ongoing high demand
for building materials in the United States. Strong pricing and volume trends in the
United States supported a significant increase in financial performance in the region.
Economic growth in the region was driven by positive development in the United States
supported by the vigorous housing market. Infrastructure spending also positively
influenced demand for building materials. Canada showed healthy growth thanks to
exports to the United States, despite the negative effects of lower commodity and oil
prices that impacted investment activity in the western part of the country.

Solid residential construction activity and spending on infrastructure projects resulted

in vigorous construction markets in the United States. LafargeHolcim sold more cement
across its presence benefiting from continuing strong demand for building materials, with
strong performance in the sunbelt states and a positive price development. Aggregates
and ready-mix concrete volumes also showed significant growth mirroring the positive
market trends.
Shareholders Letter

In Eastern Canada, LafargeHolcim sold more cement thanks to exports to the United
States and more ready-mix concrete thanks to favorable weather conditions. Aggregates
volumes were down, after strong performance in the first three months of the previous
year. Western Canada remained impacted in the prairies by lower investment as a result
of the oil-price driven economic downturn. Following an exceptionally strong first quarter
2015, volumes were down in all segments for the same period this year.
Consolidated cement volumes in North America increased significantly by 18.9percent
to 3.4million tonnes in the first quarter 2016 thanks to the United States and exports
from Canada to the United States. Aggregates shipments were down 5.9percent
to13.7million tonnes. Good results in the United States drove ready-mix concrete volumes,
which grew 6.0percent and reached 1.6million cubic meters. Net sales increased 10.1percent like-for-like to CHF866million. Adjusted operating EBITDA was positive despite the
strong seasonality that normally generates negative results in the first quarter and
increased significantly to CHF3million.

Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements
NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

As used herein, the terms LafargeHolcim, Holcim or the Group refer to
LafargeHolcimLtd together with the companies included in the scope of consolidation.
HolcimLtd was renamed to LafargeHolcimLtd following the merger with LafargeS.A.
onJuly10, 2015.
1.Basis of preparation
The unaudited consolidated first quarter interim financial statements of LafargeHolcim,
hereafter interim financial statements, are prepared in accordance with IAS 34 Interim
Financial Reporting. The accounting policies used in the preparation and presentation
of the interim financial statements are consistent with those used in the consolidated
financial statements for the year ended December31, 2015 (hereafter annual financial
statements).
The interim financial statements should be read in conjunction with the annual financial
statements as they provide an update of previously reported information.
Due to rounding, numbers presented throughout this report may not add up precisely
to the totals provided. All ratios and variances are calculated using the underlying amount
rather than the presented rounded amount.
The preparation of interim financial statements requires management to make estimates
and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of revenues, expenses, assets, liabilities
and disclosure of contingent liabilities at the date of the interim financial statements.
Ifin the future such estimates and assumptions, which are based on managements
bestjudgment at the date of the interim financial statements, deviate from the actual
circumstances, the original estimates and assumptions will be modified as appropriate
during the period in which the circumstances change.
2.Change in accounting policies

As disclosed in the annual financial statements, LafargeHolcim changed its accounting
for Cement Australia in the second quarter 2015 as a result of an IFRIC agenda decision.
Consequently, the Group reclassified its investment in Cement Australia as a joint venture
and applied the equity accounting method. This accounting policy change was applied
retrospectively and its effect on the comparative information (restated amounts) presented
for each financial statement line item was disclosed in the half-year 2015 interim report.

LAFARGEHOLCIM

First Quarter 2016
3.Changes in the scope of consolidation

3.1 Business combinations and divestments during the current reporting
period
During the first quarter of 2016, there were no business combinations or divestments that
were either individually material or that were considered material on an aggregated basis.
3.2 Update on the merger between Holcim and Lafarge

The merger between Holcim and Lafarge announced publicly on April7, 2014 became
effective on July10, 2015 after completion of the public exchange offer filed by HolcimLtd
for all the outstanding shares of LafargeS.A.
As at March31, 2016, the purchase price allocation exercise is ongoing and therefore
thefair values assigned to the identifiable assets acquired and liabilities assumed remain
provisional, pending finalization of the valuation of those assets and liabilities. The changes
in the purchase price allocation during the first quarter 2016 amount to CHF408million
and are mainly explained by the refinement, and accordingly the decrease, of the fair
value of property, plant and equipment. The completion of the purchase accounting is
expected during thecourse of the second quarter 2016.
3.3 Business combinations and divestments during the previous

comparative reporting period
Divestments
On March30, 2015, LafargeHolcim sold its entire remaining shareholding of 27.5percent
in Siam City Cement Public Company Limited in Thailand via a private placement in capital
markets for a total consideration of CHF661million, which was settled on April2, 2015.
On January5, 2015, LafargeHolcim disposed of Holcim (esko) a.s. in Czech Republic,
Gador cement plant and Yeles grinding station in Spain for CHF243million to Cemex.
Acquisition
On January5, 2015, LafargeHolcim acquired control of a group of companies from Cemex
which operate in Western Germany and the Netherlands for a total cash consideration
of CHF210million.
25
4.Seasonality
Demand for cement, aggregates and other construction materials and services is seasonal
because climatic conditions affect the level of activity in the construction sector.
LafargeHolcim usually experiences a reduction in sales during the first and fourth quarters
reflecting the effect of the winter season in its principal markets in Europe and North
America and tends to see an increase in sales in the second and third quarters reflecting
the effect of the summer season. This effect can be particularly pronounced in harsh
winters.

shareholders after the settlement of the re-opened exchange offer in September2015. The
total number of LafargeHolcim shares issued for the scrip dividend was 28,870,252.
In accordance with IAS 33 Earnings per Share, the weighted average number of shares outstanding and per share amounts for the prior periods presented have been retrospectively
restated to reflect the new shares that arose from the scrip dividend distribution.
In the first quarter of 2016, 462,042 stock options and potentially issuable shares would
have an anti-dilutive impact on the calculation of the diluted earnings per share and are
therefore excluded from the calculation.
